The Key to beating OKC is....

[og15]

They had a 128 Ortg in the game, lol. It was 116.7 in game 2.

The only guys we shut down were the two useless offensive players in Perkins and Thabo. Our offense was very good if this is any other game where the opponent isn't scoring at will

[QRich3]

20 for Ibaka
14 for Butler
14 for Reggie



48 points.
3 unnecessary threes for Caron in the 4th....VERY GUARDABLE....**** blake.

That's what happens when they go small, they are gonna be really hard to guard and there's nothing we, or any team, can do about it. Blake is a great athlete but you can't ask him to blitz into the paint to contain rolls and dart back to his man at the corner as if he was a guard. What we need to do though is come right back and punish them inside as they can't guard us either with that line up.

In the 8 or 9 minutes they went small with Durant at the 4 and Adams at the 5 they scored over 1.5 points per possession according to NBA.com, but we didn't score over our normal range. It should be the exact opposite if we played like we're supposed to.

But yeah, our defense in general was a disaster, we left the paint unguarded a lot of the time on simple penetrations and I thought DJ was again lost like a headless chicken for most of the game. It didn't help that they can just blow by our guards with no effort at all, every freakin time. Crawford is a disaster on defense, and whenever Collison enters the game is even worse. Dudley trying to contain Durant was a good joke by Doc, I would laugh if I wasn't cursing at him for being a useless sack of ****

Crawford needs to play A LOT less, even when he's having a good night. Not only is his defense horrible but he makes our offense worse! Whenever Redick is in, the ball flows from side to side, there's a lot of good movement and we wear OKC down. Whenever Crawford is in, over half our offensive possesions it's him isolating and taking a **** shot, freezing Blake and making everybody just stand around looking at him. And he doesn't even score at a good rate on those possesions.

Oh and rebounding, we should formally ask the league to start our games winning by 10, since we're just gonna be gifting them like 10 easy rebounds a game anyway

It's gonna be really hard to beat OKC like this, I'm starting to wonder if we have enough talent to beat them on normal nights when they're playing well.

Play team Ball

Jordan needs more touches down low

Reddick 6 shots perhaps the best shooter. He need 12 shots attempts and most from 3

Balanced attack

Barnes less shooting at the end of the game.

Get Crawford started early. Get the team started on offense early.

Better Defense. Poor defense from both teams.

Jordan getting more shots isn't really going to be a play of attack for the Clippers. Redick's FGA last game I'd say was because he only played 21 minutes. Crawford was shooting early and shooting late, he's kinda been struggling the last two games and was borderline on chucking in game 3.

Defense, yes, definitely need to figure something out on defense.

[LACtdom]

Even though it's a team game, in order for us to win we need Blake to be super aggressive and Paul to go into MVP mode and put up 30 and 15. On a bad day KD and Westbrook will combine for 50+.

Chris Paul guarding Durant is the key, lol

[Quake Griffin]

Chris Paul guarding Durant is the key, lol

false.

Jared Dudley DNP Coach's Decision is the key.

[LACtdom]

It doesn't matter how good we are at adapting after each game, at the end of the day we are really going to have to shoot better if we want to win this series.

Don't expect us to win many games shooting FG 41.9%, 3FG 14.3%, FT 69% at home!

We need our role players to start hitting shots.

[TheNewEra]

So disgusted with Paul how can you choke so bad.

[TheNewEra]

The series was close to ours and now this.

key to beat the OKC is... shoot all the refs before the game.
